I thought this seemed familiar. I have heard two other stories with Ethan Carlyle narrated. He is a lapsed Paladin. So far, I don't think the author has mentioned how or why he lapsed, but it must have been something extreme given the power Meg gets. She even gets the Archangel Michael's sword.
I loved that. He's faced with frightening power of a Fury and after the situation is defused he casually asks her out for a coffee date. (Corrected for the wrong type of frightening power lol)
Considering this dude ended the story hitting on the goddess of revenge, I should think a goddess, and something romantic. Romance and lives lost or protected tend to have the greatest impact, and usually go hand in hand.
@@mcarrowtime7095 He was speaking to a Fury, normally one of the Guardians of the Underworld and sometimes servants of Hades in Greek mythos. When I say a deity of Oaths, I mean something akin to Zeus or a similar deity.
Maegera? I don't think she was one of the Furies, they were not Oath keepers. The were vengeance personified. No coins , no devices ,and no conversation. Madness and blood lust in the flesh. What was there to talk about? Once they had the scent, not even Zeus himself could order them not to strike. One Chance only, a slim one , purification by the rites of Apollo. By paying a symbolic price, your life and sanity could be saved. It did not always work, we're talking about Powers older than the Olympians, Powers native to earth, not imported from the stars. Agro my man, one of these days you will pronounce a non Anglo Word correctly by mistake, and i'll fall down from sheer shock.
It could be a version of nemesis, the goddess of revenge, simply known by a different name. Besides, it’s the mother of the muses, which was either a primordial being or Aphrodite, I can’t remember which
From Brave AI summery: Megaera is one of the three Furies in Greek mythology.024 She is the sister of Alecto and Tisiphone and was born from the blood of Ouranos when Cronos castrated him.4 Megaera is associated with jealousy and envy and punishes people who commit crimes, especially marital infidelity.2 She is a major character in the video game Hades and is a boss and a potential romance partner to Zagreus.3 In Greek mythology, the Furies were spawns of earth and sky and lived in the underworld to exact vengeance and retribution on wicked men who hurt women and swore false oaths.1
Isn't this a sequel to one where he faced a demon that was eating children and set off the bones of the dead as purifying vengeance? This is going places and I hope to see where
He was of one of the Abrahamic faiths without a doubt. Though the bigger question is what arcane path did he start walking and what led him down that path, if God/The Creator was the Oathbreaker.
Sounds like this guy made a pact w a greater deity, as in warlock pact and that deity renounced the pact breaking it on their end. That would enpower the bejesus out of that type of fury. Cosmic breaking power as she seeks to kill a greater god. The power vacuum would destroy everything. Im willing to bet he loved a god and this goddess turned away from him and scorned as he was, the goddess broke the warlock pact. She has to be one of the top 5. If it would destroy reality with the retribution that the fury would cast upon them. Cant make power moves like that and have a normal next day. Ethan forgave and thats why he stopped the fury? His heartbreak is his and no one else’s and he bears it silently. - forbidden love like that would be something to behold and especially if it went against the natural laws of gods/mortals. Idk. Am i right? *Seems that the power for the fury to cast retribution would shatter everything as she fulfilled her purpose, and his. Thrice naming a true name kept her at bay as to not follow it? She used the powerup to kill the pan flute and he stopped the fury before it could seek the real enemy?
What was read is what was written, that's all you get. Me thinks the broken oath of Ethan's was from a long time ago, like our man here is neigh immortal, but still just a man.
If I had to guess, it was the most important oath a human can ever swear. A Marriage oath. And even if it was broken some love remains. I would also guess the other was not a mortal but one of significant importance in the pantheon of Gods. And that sort of justice will cause a great deal of pain to others if enacted. Humans are a messy bunch, we are capable of feeling more than one emotion about someone or something at a time.
BACK ROUND: Ethan the protagonist investigate/solves paranormal disappearances and the like. HE had a contract with one being that made him a Paladin. This oath, whatever it was, was broken by the other party and not him. THE STORY: This episode shows him trying to get back a client's husband who was being controlled by a fury.The client's husband had a reason for revenge hence the fury. The person he wanted revenge on had a dangerous artifact and the fury wanted to use Ethan to get it back. Ethan didn't want to give the fury that much power (suggesting the broken oath was a very strong one). he agreed to help conditionally and after the artifact is retrieved, Ethan gets the client's husband back safely while flirting [?] with said fury.
I have a feeling it was supposed to imply the covenant between the Jewish people and God. Looking at history, it rather seems like the Big Man wasn't living up to his end of the accord.
@@andrewgause6971 Read the Hebrew Bible some time, it was the Jewish people who broke the covenant(nothing against Jews, thats just human nature). They couldn't even keep the covenant while God was writing the covenant down. It was kinda like someone cheating on their spouse while the spouse is saying their wedding vows.
It’s like a mix between Constantine and Harry Blackstone, love it.

I'm not saying the story is just Jim Butcher messing around on Reddit. But I am saying you'll enjoy reading the Dresden Files
Try reading "The Toxic Spell Dump" Dunno the author.
It's been a while since I've really been gripped by a story (as opposed to letting it play in the background while I do other things).
I love this fish tank channel, the guy who reads stories is ok too.
The fish do tricks every now and then...
There! That one did a back flip!
There a highly trained method acting troup
Why show the fish though? And base merch on them?
(Who's the artist for it btw?)

Story 1429 is another story with Ethan.
Story 296 is also a story with Ethan
Are there any other stories in this arc? This is very interesting and the metaphysical speculations going on are kind of terrifying
It's got that Jim Butcher feel. I like it.
Glad to see another fan of his work.
I would say more Gaiman than Butcher but they do overlap in feels.
@@swimmingmide I'm not as familiar with Gaiman as I am Butcher but I can see the likeness.

FURY. As in unrestrained Rage. Not " furry" ~ which could be a really twisting tale. Pun intended
@@seldonwright4345 lol good point. Spelling over a phone is hazardous.
Bravo, magnificent story. Many thanks to you and the author.
Huh, Dresden Files type story. Neat
I once read a book that had Megaera as a major character, quite a funny story "The Night Life Of The Gods" by Thorne Smith. Written pre World War 2.
Love the story. I like all your content, but this one was absolutely fantastic 👏 👍 😍 .
The only questions I have are; who broke their oath, what was the oath, and how long ago was the oath broken?
I'm going to guess either a higher up deity/being, or one that plays a vital role even without much authority.
I REALLY want to know what the Broken Oath was and which deity actually broke such an oath.
Considering this dude ended the story hitting on the goddess of revenge, I should think a goddess, and something romantic. Romance and lives lost or protected tend to have the greatest impact, and usually go hand in hand.
@@mcarrowtime7095 I was thinking something more akin to a higher tier deity or a primordial. Maybe even a Deity of Justice/Oaths.
@@chrisdufresne9359 you mean the deity who he was speaking to
@@mcarrowtime7095 He was speaking to a Fury, normally one of the Guardians of the Underworld and sometimes servants of Hades in Greek mythos. When I say a deity of Oaths, I mean something akin to Zeus or a similar deity.
@@chrisdufresne9359 he called it a fury, seemed more to me like nemesis, just without the name.
Thanks for the great read aggro! Can't wait to see more of this from T/Markos.

For Harry Dresden
This was well written and entertaining, I would love to see more....
Someone really liked the Dresden files
For the skwerl
For the rythm that is algo
I think carlyle is a knight templer.
Isn't this a sequel to one where he faced a demon that was eating children and set off the bones of the dead as purifying vengeance? This is going places and I hope to see where
The only thing I can think is that man was Jewish and the oath broken was the covenant and that fury just got the power to kill god
He was of one of the Abrahamic faiths without a doubt. Though the bigger question is what arcane path did he start walking and what led him down that path, if God/The Creator was the Oathbreaker.
The covenant was never broken though...
Can anyone explain what the actual FUCCK happened? I'm so confused...
@@BrunoMaricFromZagreb Are you confused about the whole story or just what was happening with the MC and the Furry Meg?
That fury was Hercules’s Girlfriend and Hades’s Slave
Is there any more to this one
For the Algorithm the story and the voice
If you believe I signed a paper or an oath you were visited by a different kind of hairy the Hat.
also known as a witch probably
Greetings, Mentlegent
For the Ryhthm that is Algo
I honestly don't know what to make of this story. It's very....lateral.
The one required to enforce a oath not kept, violates a oath?
I wonder what the oath was?
Love this one 👍

Depending on the scripture, but Jesus promised to return in the lifetime of those present. I agree, he might be jewish.
